Customer Reviews for Talstar P Professional Insecticide

Good all around pesticide--indoors & out. Provided good flea control all summer. (Has little or no effect on spiders) personally, I would not purchase again because of one label----made in China.

Works pretty good...pest you are trying to control seem to get immune to it pretty fast (try to use another product temprid or another multi-use spray every other time)..Its affordable but if you have any left over after a spray job you don't want to store in your sprayer even if you have a job the next day, or it will start to coagulate and plug stuff up. or even if you use it all clean sprayer daily will be worth it in the long run.

This product works well to protect the home from stink bug invasion. I am finding many dead bugs around the exterior of the house and not as many on the house as the last two seasons.

I've used this product in the pint size without any issues. This time I purchased the quart size. I've wasted alot. Something about the measuring and pouring system. I fill the top to the desired amount but when i go to pouring it the liquid just kept pouring. The product itself is awesome!!!

I originally found this website last year; trying to find Cy-Kick, a pesticide that an exterminator used at my neighbors. I used Cy-Kick and it works as well, but returning to the site I knew there had to be more products for this latest creature terrorising the Northeast US. Searching 'stink-bug' on the site, Cy-kick didn't pop-up; (it did last year) or at least I didn't see it. With Talstar having the highest ratings I thought why not. Doing a search of the word 'stink bug' within about 50 reviews, it came up a very small amount of times. Talstar, like Cy-Kick works, but I cannot actually say it works better. Like many of these products, they have that invisible residue that lasts a few weeks, and I saw high praise from a few people that seem to know more than me about pesticides. Besides, 1 ounce per 1 gallon seems to do the trick, whereas I was using 2oz. per gal with Cy-Kick---for what I believe was the same results. Stick bugs are dying by the thousands now at my house and my neighbor's; hopefully something will change this, as killing the innocent bugs---bugs me! Smile!

This product works well, but for fleas, you definitely need to mix with a growth regulator. I found out the hard way. It killed the adults, but I was still seeing a lot of them, once I mixed with the growth regulator I saw a huge difference. Will definitely use again.

Kind of dissapointed. Had to do about 3 applications before I stopped seeing ants in my kitchen. Also I was told this would completly kill them but i read somewhere that this product does not kill the nest as the ants dont bring it back to the nest because it kills them first. I really needed something that they would bring back to the nest to get rid of them for good

About a week ago I used the prescribed solution - 1Tbsp/gal and it seemed to work okay in my finished basement, but upstairs is either hasn't had time to be effective or for some other reason it isn't working yet.

Item arrived shoved in the manufactures box of the sprayer I had purchased with the Talstar. No packaging, bubble wrap or paper was placed around the bottle. The bottle leaked about a quarter of the content all over my brand new expensive sprayer. Was not happy with the packing or the hour it took for me to clean the sprayer. The talstar seems to be working pretty good.

I bought this product for mosquito control and applied it at a rate of one oz to one gallon in a one gallon pump sprayer. It worked great initially, but wore off much faster than the 30 days that the label indicated. The second application did not seem as effective. I do live on a river, but I still hope to be able to open my door without thousands of mosquitoes flying in. I will continue to re-apply as needed and hope for the best.

i definitely want to update my review after 3 months because ive only used it once and its been 3 weeks and im already seeing the effects aren't lasting long. Slugs are coming back in some how and those pesky wood roaches. Granted i only found 1 on the 3rd week but still.

good product for all around bug control, I mix it on the strong side and add a little Demon Max. Mosquitos are done for. Ticks were the main reason for the product. All bugs seem to be less annoying. Now that I know it works, I will be buying in larger quantities for an even better value. I will still use Demand in the spring, I think it lasts longer in rainy conditions.

I uses this when I lived in Northern California for fleas and it worked great. However, I am now living in Central Florida and nothing has brought relief from the enormous flea problem here. I don't have faith that any product could control the massive fleas in this area.

Isn't effective on gnats, or fruit flies. Applied as directed for initial control and a week later for proactive control. Did not effect gnats, the product controlled houseflies and other insects, but was not effective on gnats/fruit flies.

For the money I was really hoping this would work great, but malathion is much better, just impossible to get in California now. I sprayed this directly on a spider and he didn't even flinch, just kept running. I also used it around the baseboards in my kitchen trying to get rid of ants. I think it reduced my ant problem but it did not eliminate them as malathion has in the past. Therefore, I think this did help some, but not worth the money!

I bought 2 gallons at our house in Florida it killed all of the fire ants and spiders for about four months. I decided to buy 2 more gallons for our house in New Jersey because of a ant problem we have in our lawn I have sprayed the lawn twice and we still have ants. Bill

We have a major infestion of fleas, ants, and mosquitoes. And there is no water in our backyard or surrounding yards. And I read several pages of reviews on this product and saw how many good reviews there were on the issues i needed fixed. Well its been about two weeks since we sprayed. And we sprayed everything. Even under the porch to ensure full coverage. And while it has cut down on the fleas and my dog is not covered in them, she is still coming in with many on her. As for the ants, we havent been outside much yet since its just now starting to get nicw outside but i can say i have ants inside again so im pretty sure they are still an issue outside. And as i mentioned, the weather has just started getting nice so I dont know about the mosquitoes yet. And then onto other creatures. I never had an issues with other bugs except wasps. But the wasps are still around and now this new bug has began showing up. I was relying on this to kill 75 different insects but AT MOST, its has just cut them down. So far all are still an issue

  Expert response:
Thank you for your feedback. Please note, using an insecticide is part of an insect reduction program. It is important that you make changes on your property such as trimming up bushes, hedges and trees, cleaning up yard debris and keeping brush cut back. Please take few moments to read over our flea guide and our general pest guides to learn more. The goal with using insecticides should be realistic. The use of these products will reduce insect activity but it will not eliminate them. This is because new insects can move in from surrounding areas and take time to contact treat areas.

I got this to control the bugs around my property. I mixed it as stated on label, I do have significantly less insects now, but the black ants are still around the landscape timbers surrounding some of the raised beds. I will mix up more and treat a second time. would I suggest others trying this product.....YES

Used product once. Didn't work that great on the fire ants. Worked good on other bugs and such. Was a little disappointed that the bugs are already back after only a few weeks. Overall a decent product.

I bought it for springtails (although they are easy to kill. It's just a control system when you spray to kill them. Have to take care of the moisture problem before they will truly go away). I'm the midst of us getting the funding to fix the moisture problem we infested in this product. It has killed the springtails. (Though any killer could kill them). I was hoping it would kill other bugs as well. It hasn't. Ant problem is actually worse.

I have not seen an ant since using this product. But it did not slow mosquitos down at all. We still are unable to sit in our yard before or after dark.

  Expert response:

Thought it's stronger but it's not. I live by a lake and lots of bugs around the house most of the time. I've been using some other "cheaper" products and they were good for two/three days then I see the bugs back again. Almost same thing with this product. Need something lasts longer..

This product does seem to get rid of the adult bedbugs and the young ones for about 5 days before the little guys start biting again. It does seem to have stopped the adults that were migrating from my infested neighbor's apartment, which is a huge relief. It does not, however, do the whole job.

I Purchased this and mix as directed. It did get rid of mosquitoes, however, there are tons of little gnats all over the place at this does nothing for. Biting gnats and overall annoying little flies that this chemical had no impact on. Would opt for something else that will take care of everything

I bought this to control insects around my home. Mainly ants and yellow jackets which were both becoming a problem for me. Worked great on ants with only one treatment. Appeared to have no effect on the bees as they continued to enter nesting areas even after sprayed multiple times in one week.

I applied this product a week ago, so far I have not noted a big difference. I still see spiders. I have found a few other dead bugs on my deck.

Upon receipt of the product, I mixed it according to directions and sprayed the exterior of my home. Unfortunately, the week after was exceptionally warm here in California, and ants we're looking for water anywhere they could find it. We had a number of incidences where they came into the house across the boundary that I had sprayed. I sprayed them in the house and again at ever opening I could find around the home. After the initial incidences, I have had no more problems so hopefully the product is working well.

Purchased, sprayed very heavily in the back yard, used almost 4 gallons of water, with 4 oz of Talstar. Worked for a few hours and then the mosquitos were back. I know its not a solve all but it does say to work for 3 months. Very disappointed.
